Why are we bringing great people, ideas and stories together through food? Why do we want to inspire people and raise their sense of connection with others through cooking?
Because food has that power.
Food is more than fuel to get us through our day. It's more than something we throw in a trolley once a week.
We see people's sense of sense grow when they can touch, taste, smell and see ingredients, and transform them into a delicious meal to share with others.
We see the happiness families experience when food from their own culture is being experienced and enjoyed by other people.
We see the power of food to help bring peace and healing to people who like to express themselves through cooking.
We see the 'cook it forward' effect - nothing is better than a kid from our cooking sessions telling us they felt inspired to cook that same recipe at home for their whānau.
Food has the power to inspire storytelling, give people confidence in their own ideas and skills, and can be a transformative experience for people, whānau and communities.
We hope to cook with you and your whānau someday soon!
